Description:
We are the only ex-user led organisation, that works in the Buckinghamshire area with a view to becoming nationwide. We take on a unique hands on approach. We draw on our experiences to deter people from drugs, encourage them to seek treatment and support them through the process. We commit the same dedication to their families, who have been overlooked for years. We work alongside professional organisations delivering programmes, education and support. We intend to set up a Mentor system, to help Users, break away from "drug buddies" and become socially included again. We have motivational courses to deliver to professionals that work alongside drug users who may have become stagnated in their roles.
